Volume 1 Chapter 163 Best Friends Pleading (1/2)
”You like a boy! That's something new. This is my first time hearing that you have someone you like other than Sean. Oh no, Sean is your crush but this case is different,” Han Luo tapped the tea table while her eyes gleamed mischievously. She suddenly leaned forward trying to interrogate her friend, ”So, who is this guy? Is he from our class?”
Beth answered, ”Nope, he isn't a nerd like me. He is from Year 10 Set 4. He is also a reader of my gossip column. Coming to this thought, I'm such a popular blogger, how can people don't know about me?” Her tone turned slightly narcissistic to the end as she grinned happily at Han Luo.
'Year 10 Set 4, hmm, he is fourteen years old and a year younger than Beth. He isn't a bad student but he isn't good either,' Han Luo thought. Thinking of this, Han Luo eyed her friend with some suspicion, ”Since he is from Set 4, how did he contact you? Did he do that through the chat board on your blogger?”
Beth didn't think too deeply, she excitedly replied, ”Yes! He said that I was the most amazing girl he had ever known. His messages were so dreamy”
Han Luo's lips twitched. Staying in Paris, she had learned that men would only use superficial words to woo women when they had ulterior motives. She realized that she needed to knock some sense into her best friend. She took a deep breath and exhaled loudly. She started, ”Listen, Beth-”
Beth went on without hearing her friend. ”I told him I'll meet him tonight with my bestie and he agreed.” She took Han Luo's hand and suddenly suggested, ”Luo, let's go together.”
Han Luo froze at the sudden turn of events. She opened her mouth and tried to refuse, ”Beth, I don't think I should”
Beth tilted her head. ”Why is that? Are you tired?”
Han Luo replied, ”That's not it”
Beth cut her off after she got her answer. ”Then hurry up and get ready. This is the first time I've ever liked a boy. I want you to meet him.”
It's her first date with the boy she likes; she can't help but feel giddy.
'Since she is asking so much, I shouldn't let her down. Why don't I make use of this opportunity to find out what kind of a person approached her,' after coming to this conclusion, she agreed to go along with Beth.
While surfing through her old clothes, Han Luo was mortified. Since she had grown three inches in two years and with the obvious changes in her body, most of her previous dresses couldn't be worn at her current size. She could still wear her party dresses if she mended them but the same couldn't be done in case of other dresses.
”What's taking you so long?” Beth asked from the bedroom. She had brought her clothes with her so that she could dress up in Han Luo's bedroom. She was already done with getting ready and came to check up on Han Luo.
In the end, Han Luo chose a c.o.c.ktail dress and walked out of her closet. She asked for her friend's opinion. ”I don't have so many choices right now. What do you think of this dress?”
Beth looked at the dress and was speechless. It was a pink c.o.c.ktail dress with printed flowers. ”What are you? A kid? You cannot wear anything like this. Wear something s.e.xy or a glamorous one. Something more mature.”
Han Luo was confused. ”Why? It's your date, not mine. Also, why do I have to dress up like an a.d.u.l.t?”
”It's because we are going to an a.d.u.l.t's place.” Beth winked at her.
Han Luo had a bad feeling about this. She became alert, ”I don't like what you are saying. Who chose the venue?”
”I did,” Beth answered. She hummed a song and checked herself out in front of the mirror. Then she turned to face her friend and asked, ”Do I look beautiful?”
”You do,” Han Luo answered.
After choosing a dress from her latest party clothes and then finishing up their makeover, Han Luo inquired, ”So, how are we going to go there? I don't want to ask Noah to drive us to the a.d.u.l.t place you mentioned. Even if I ask him to take us there, he is surely going to ask thousands of questions.”
Beth gave her a simple solution. ”We can always ask for Yujin's help.” She continued dreamily, ”He is so kind, he won't say 'no' to you and I'm sure of it.” It seemed that she had already planned out everything.
Han Luo smirked. ”I thought you liked your date. Why are you still fantasizing about big brother Yujin?”
Beth winked playfully at her friend, ”Crush and love are two different things, honey. I can only love my boyfriend while I can crush on hundreds of guys at the same time.”
Han Luo shook her head.Sometimes, she really didn't know what went around inside Beth's head. She shared her opinion. ”I would rather crush on a single person, fall in love with him, and then marry him. I don't need a hundred men.”
Beth teasingly said, ”I want to know who the lucky boy is.”
”There is no one,” Han Luo blushed at her friend's teasing and shyly replied. Before Beth could ask any further she said, ”I'm ready. Let's go and coax big brother Yujin.”
”Let's go!” Beth left the room first.
